Week 9
Thu, May 21 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I Printed out the lightbulb support, but it was too small. I /glued the lamp shade support to the body, and put the paper over it. Mr. Brodie said that was enough for my project, so I didn’t wire it.
Thu, May 21 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I can’t do anything for homework as of now because I am printing out my camera body.
Tue, May 19 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I got the Lamp Shade part I started printing last class, and it was too thin and broke. I edited the dimensions of it to make it thicker and printed it out along with the other buttons. I started gluing everything together. I finished assigning materials to the lamp and rendered it, and sent it to ChatGPT to generate an image of what it would look like.
Tue, May 19 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I created my first render. I had to change how the buttons were created so I can change them into different materials. I need to fix a few things, like the entire lightbulb being glass, but I want to focus on my prototype in class, so I will prioritize that. I will still ask about it, but it isn’t my top priority right now.
Week 8
Fri, May 15 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I remade my Lamp shade support to be 2 different bodies so I could print it out. I started assigning parts of my Camera materials. I will finish choosing the materials and render it for homework and next class.
Fri, May 15 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I can’t do anything for homework as of now because I am printing out my camera body.
Wed, May 13 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I printed out my camera body again including the hole for the lightbulb. It took multiple times though because the laser wasn’t cutting fully through the carboard for some reason. I had to print out the back a second time because I forgot to include the tabs. I started gluing together the body excluding the back to gle on for a later time.
Wed, May 13 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I can’t do anything for homework as of now because I am printing out my camera body.
Mon, May 11 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I printed out the first version of my camera body. Mr. Brodie showed me how to do a net in Rhino by using dashed lines. He also showed me how to make the tabs for the glue. Unfortunately, I forgot to include the hole for the lightbulb, so I will have to redo it next class.
Mon, May 11 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I can’t do anything for homework as of now because I am waiting to print out my camera body.
Week 7
Thu, May 7 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I talked with Mr. Brodie about how I should print my camera body. He had me make sketches of all the main sides and lay them out in a net of the body. He told me after that, I can print everything out separately and glue it on. Due to unavailability of the laser cutters and mistakes in importing my sketches, I was not able to print them out.
Thu, May 7 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I looked over my 3D model again to look for mistakes and feel it is ready to be made, but I need to wait for Mr. Brodie to tell me if it actually is; and for him to help me understand how I will make it (will I use the wood cutter or a 3D printer).
Tue, May 5 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I made it so the shade is only the supports, I changed the wire hole in the back back into a circle and put it directly behind the lightbulb. I made it so the lightbulb support fully connects to the camera body. I am ready to start printng, and Mr. Brodie came by to check it, but left before saying anything.
Tue, May 5 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I redesigned the hole in the back to be able to fit the plug of the wire through.
Week 6
Fri, May 1 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I tried editing my lightbulb hold by myself, but ran into trouble and asked Mr. Brodie for help. He helped me set up a better design using the threaded part of the lightbulb, and I started implementing it into my design by moving the support back.
Fri, May 1 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I extended the lightbulb supports and joined it together with the camera body.
Wed, Apr 29 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I had to make some pieces seperate bodies, I created the shade for the camera, I created a support for the lightbulb inside the camera body, and I made a hole for the wire to go through.
Wed, Apr 29 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I continued working on my 3D model. I filleted some edges to make it look smoother and made some extrusions for the details of the body of the camera.
Mon, Apr 27 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I finished my brown paper sketch by adding a top view and finishing my front view. Then, I started my 3D modeling on Fusion.
Mon, Apr 27 HW – Image and description of completed homeworkI
I am working on my Brown paper sketch, so I cannot currently work at home.
Week 5
Fri, Apr 24 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I restarted my Brown Paper sketch because I talked with Mr. Brodie yesterday and changed my plans a little bit. I did a side view sketch (right) and a front view (left).

Wed, Apr 22 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I created the left side view for my sketch.
Mon, Apr 20 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I finished the front view, top, bottom, and right side sketch of my camera. I changed some more dimensions to make it fit the design better.
Mon, Apr 20 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I finished my Full body sketch and started on my front side sketch. I changed some dimensions to better fit the model.
Week 4
Thur, Apr 16 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I created the Fusion version of the lightbulb. I started on my first detailed sketch after choosing to do the Camera Lamp.
Thur, Apr 16 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I made my last concept sketch. It is a lamp that resembles a human made out of wood, and has metal joints. It is movable.
Tue, Apr 14 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Problem Statement: I am building a lamp for my Foundations of Technical Design and Fabrication class. The restraint is that it has to be a lamp with a lightbulb and socket. I am building a small sized lamp that is a camera. The lightbulb is coming out of where the camera lens would be. I want to make it a little larger than a normal polaroid camera, so probably around 6″ x 4.5″ x 1.75″. I want the “take photo” button to be the on/off button for my lamp.
I made my 3rd concept sketch. It is a lightbulb in a glass bottle with a wood stand to make it look like a moose.
Tue, Apr 14 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I looked for designs for lamps and found a cool camera lamp. I made a rough sketch of it and included how to turn it on and off and where the lightbulb attaches.
Week 3
Sat, Apr 11 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I made my first rough sketch of a lamp. I included sides that cast shadow onto the surrounding walls with a lightbulb socket in the middle. I am still figuring what images to put on the 4 sides.
Sat, Apr 11 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I finished my phone holder project and am not sure what to do from here.
Tues, Apr 9 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Mr. Brody helped me make the hinges connect to the pieces. I had some dimensions wrong with the midsection, so I had to redo that part. I connected all of the pieces together and finished my phone holder.
Thu, Apr 9 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I created the Upper hinge and split it into three parts, but I couldn’t figure out how to connect it to the midsection and upper part of the phone holder.
Tues, Apr 7 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I made the sketches and bodies for the midsection and bottom part of the pone holder. Mr. Brody told me how to make the hinges.
